MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN MISSOURI
Anchored by two major metropolitan hubs on opposite borders, the local press network features a stark contrast between large urban dailies and small rural community weeklies. The McClatchy-owned Kansas City Star dominates the western market, while the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, founded by Joseph Pulitzer in 1878 and now operated by Lee Enterprises, leads circulation in the east. In the southwest, the Gannett-owned Springfield News-Leader serves as the primary daily publication for the Ozarks region. Adding to this historical foundation is the St. Louis American, recognized as one of the most widely circulated African-American weekly newspapers in the country.
